Didn’t the kid get a beat down though?

Beat down, choked out and kicked. Anning's nazi buddies loved an opportunity to pretend they're alpha males. The good news is that all charges against the kid were dropped.

Nah, egging politicians is good and should happen more often. I also endorse throwing flour, milk or oil at them.

We have the word "iatrogenic" to describe deahts caused by, rather than in spite of, medical care.

We need a similar word to describe deaths caused by rather than in spite of police action


Did you watch the video? The killer goes back into the building and starts shooting people lying on the ground in puddles of blood in their heads.

Paramedics weren't going to save them.

I guess this is, and i hate to say it, just you reap what you sow. Six of the victims come from Pakistan, a country where the destruction of Christian/Ahmadiyya places of worship is practically a sport, and where attacks on members of said groups are common. That is just one example of such attacks in Muslim (But interestingly those with a Sunni majority) countries. Unlike in the New Zealand case where the police apprehended the attacker, the police in many muslim countries either don't investigate or stop attacks against minorities, or actively participate in the persecution. The same issue crept up in the Synagogue attack in Pittsburgh, where attacks and persecution against Christians in Israel are common. My point is that what happened in Christchurch is no different from what Muslims do to the minorities in their countries EVERYDAY. And before any of you say it is a minority of Muslims who commit/support such acts it is not. A study was done in 2012 in Pakistan that concluded only 7% of Pakistanis actually consider Ahmadis to be Muslim, the rest consider them Apostates of Islam.

Some people believe that "not actively opposing actions done by strangers in a farwaway place who claim to share your faith" and "deserving to be shot in the head repeatedly" are not the same thing.

I see you are not one of these people.

Well, it is die or die trying to overpower him in the hopes that the one in a million chance of surviving aligns in your favour.

A crackdown, like some advocate, or even a death penalty plays right into the the thought process that drove this attack. They want martyrs and they want further polarization to piss off others and thus create more incidents like this. History has proven that you can break up Leftists far easier than Rightists because the Right has a better understanding of violence, and a deeper sense of purpose than the Left in many ways. Just ignore it or, even better, listen to some of the points made; reduce immigration intakes and go about adopting laws to force assimilation of those already here.

You're asking for appeasement. And I don't really care if the far-right is looking for martyrs, if the terrorist is getting the death penalty, then so be it.
